Maybe you know—or didn’t know—Howald Heating, Air Conditioning and Plumbing, an Indianapolis HVAC and Plumbing company, is family owned and operated. I’ve always worked in a family owned company.

The language of HVAC companies in Indianapolis
Nope, it’s not French…oui, oui. Nor is it Spanish… senor. The language of HVAC companies in Indianapolis just isn’t romantic. We don’t speak like Italians who can romance an alligator out of an alley. It’s true. Homeowners don’t always love us when we show up at their door because there’s probably a problem with their…

Word of Mouth marketing is the best marketing for this Indianapolis HVAC business
I’ve been in the HVAC business since the 1970s as owner and operator of Broad Ripple Heating and Air. Back then, print and broadcasting advertising was THE marketing game.
